In August I promised you all I was coming back. Well...I channeled that energy into creating an entirely new journal, and not just revamping this one. The past 5 months have been incredibly challenging for me.
And I am here right now to tell you all a secret.
I'm gay.
I left this journal behind because too many people from my personal life offline read it and I could no longer Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1092177602467980662004-08-10T18:38:00.000-04:002004-08-10T18:40:02.466-04:00Hi Everyone. Sorry Its taken me a bit of time to followup on my big "I'm back!" post. There are some exciting, but big changes coming up in my life. I've been kept very busy by the possibility of a new living arrangement and a new job =)
Lets hope this all works out according to my plan. Pretty soon - I'll be taking over the world. Haha.

The title of this post is borrowed from a great song by Faith Hill.
Well faithful readers, the time has come. As of today I am officially saying goodbye to Tuesday Morning. Its been a long ride, a fun journey. I've met a lot of really wonderful people on here and I would love to keep in touch with as many of you as possible.

To those readers who have been with my since the start of my saga with my biological father-the verdict is in.

Don't look at me
For fear you'll see
Someone less than you
Unworthy now
Disgraced somehow
In the name of Truth
You call me a sinner
Are you a saint?
You say I'm not worthy
That I abuse grace
Who are you to judge me now
For you're as human as I
Take your words and break your heart
Before you try and break mine
Don't let it fade
The mistake I made
Hold it over my head

Last night was pretty cool. Got together with my best friend here on campus and one of my roommates and we had a little boys-night. We hung out and watched movies all night. I have to tell ya, Super Troopers and Office Space should be required viewing for any American. They are hilarious.

Sorry for my absence of late!! Last week was very hectic with my final speech and then my final exam in my public speaking class. Then I went home for the weekend and had four great days with all my friends back home and also my family. It was much needed and very good for me.

Yesterday I delivered a speech in my Public Communication class on the early career of Jewel and how getting into the music industry can be a daunting task. And what happens once your there can be a nightmare at a time when everyone perceives your dreams as having come true. Well to wrap up my speech I sang the song "Down So Long" off Jewel's second album.

I am in love with this CD. If you haven't heard of the band Lillix I suggest you check them out. They are four girls from Canada and they make awesome rock music. Nothing too extreme. Some really radio-friendly numbers on here. A lot of their music revolves around relationships which works for me, I'm a teenage guy I go through them.

I'm coming out of the closet.
No...not that closet! Crazies! Sheesh, give me some credit here ;-)
Last night the Witmer Hall Playoffs kicked off. For four weeks (every Thursday) each hall of Witmer Dorm will be going head to head to see which hall is the Witmer Champion. This is decided by completing one event a week.

It is 23 degrees outside. In otherwords, I am freezing my butt off. Who would have thought the past two days of 40 degree temperatures could be considered a heatwave. Not me! Alas, here I am, frozen.

My heart hangs heavy with hurt this morning. Anyone around last night will get what I'm talking about. And to those involved...from the bottom of my broken heart-all I want to do is make things right again!

Miller rocks my socks off! Since starting here at Messiah I have succesfully been adopted not only by the theatre department, but also by Miller Hall. And thank God for that because Witmer (where I live) is NOT a happening place by any means.

Hi Everybody!
As promised, I'm back! Perhaps its a day late but I have a good reason, I swear! (I'm practicing for convincing professors I'm not lying about my late paper...hahahaha jk).
Well, yesterday morning at 9:30am (est), in the pouring rain, I moved into my dorm room. It is humble...its a double room with three people living in it.

Well my faithful readers, its time for me to go.
OK-well, not forever! But in the next 10 minutes-I will be shutting down this computer one last time at home, taking it apart and packing it up...and come tomorrow I'll be setting it up again at college. This could get interesting!
Just wanted to write one last post from home. See you all tomorrow!

Happy New Year to everyone.
I apologize for my absence here lately. I've had so much to say-but haven't been able to find the words to say it.
This Monday I move to Harrisburg to attend college. Its going to be a big change. I'm not sure if I'll get the chance to write anything until after I'm settled in there. Its going to be a busy set of days.

I can remember it like it was yesterday. I was 2. I was standing in the kitchen of my house in Atlanta with my mother. She just opened up a cassette tape (it was 1987 lol) and I picked it up and claimed it as mine. The world has never been the same since.
It was none other than Gloria Estefan's cassette "Let It Loose" featuring my then-favorite song "1-2-3".

So, in case you started reading this blog recently, let me start by saying I have not spoken to my biological father since February. For many reasons-most of which are explained somewhere on this blog. If you dont feel like searching the archives, feel free to contact me and ask. But at this particular moment, I don't feel like rehashing them.

I really did not want to get of bed this morning. So I slept in for an additional hour before making my way into work. And now that I'm here, I decided to sit down and finish up a song I've been working on for a couple weeks. This song is all about the after-effects of ending a relationship. Its something that personally I've had to make myself able to say.

I started flying when I was 6 weeks old. Well, I had flown while still inside of my mother-but the first time as a real baby was when I was 6 weeks old. I flew from Atlanta to Pittsburgh and back to see my "dad's" family. And as a little baby-my mom would often take me on weekend trips to Chicago to go shopping with a friend of hers.

Nobody can deny the fact that I am an 18 year old male. And no matter how much you are trying to seek God and live out your faith...at this age...it can be quite a struggle to keep thoughts about love and sex out of one's mind. Even if I'm not physically in someone's arms and dealing with that temptation...all I have to do is look around at the world and see it Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1071764918870215132003-12-18T11:28:00.000-05:002003-12-18T14:14:56.530-05:00FYE

Its the holidays. No escaping that fact. So-you might think I'm crazy when I tell you that I quit one of my two jobs. Yes...right before Christmas. Last Friday I quit SamGoody. I was scheduled to work at 5 and I called my boss at 4:30 to inform him of my decision.
I had to get out of there. When I started working there I was instantly surprised by the corporate culture.

So-I'm back! Did ya miss me? ;-)
Well, I have some good news for a change! Last Friday I got my acceptance letter and package to Messiah College! I move in on January 5, 2004 and begin my studies in Christian Ministries with a concentration in Christian Missions. This should be an interesting next four years. I'm actually going to college now. And a real one at that!

The title of this post is inspired by a song of the same name. Oddly enough, I share those exact sentiments this morning.

I'm sorry...but when you have every major highway and road 100% clear, the exit ramp from the highway should *also* be 100% clear of snow and ice. Wait...it gets better.

OK....this is the deal. I've had this blog for about 16 months now. Its been a really good run. I have met a lot of wonderful people through here. I've been through a lot. I've grown a lot. I've changed a lot. And I am currently at a point where I am totally burnt out. I stopped writing for myself...and started writing for an audience. I started this journal to have somewhere Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1069423534207423912003-11-21T09:05:00.000-05:002003-11-21T09:06:49.373-05:00Update
Thanks for reminding me about not updating you all on the FIF situation. Well, at practice on Wednesday Mrs. B had her talk with the girls. It lasted about 20 minutes and I assume everyone got the chance to raise their concerns. However, Mrs. B did provail with a speech I stand behind 100% ;-)
Basically, she sat the girls down and told them "We are FRIENDS in Faith....Not GIRLS in Faith Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1069356966433947632003-11-20T14:36:00.000-05:002003-11-20T14:36:43.123-05:00Brrrrrr!!!!

For some reason I felt like using that title. Go figure.
Anyway, it is 7:54am here...and I'm at work already (depressing, I know). But it really isn't that depressing, wanna know why? While walking from my car into the office...I spotted a rainbow. A beautiful one. And it was really cool to see it that early in the morning and just be captivated by how wonderful it is and how Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1069248813386773772003-11-19T08:33:00.000-05:002003-11-19T08:34:08.466-05:00Its Early Morning
8:24am to be exact. And I am at work. For the first time since last Thursday. Apparently, I can only work 1000 hours a year here (which they neglected to tell me until after I passed 800!?) so I no longer work Fridays (thus not being here last Friday). And then Sunday my car went into the shop due to a host of problems including brake failure, windows not working, squeeking Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1068658076295554692003-11-12T12:27:00.000-05:002003-11-12T12:28:22.530-05:00Some Observations
I'm not really sure what to write about today...so here's just a couple things on my mind.
-This weather is depressing.
-5:30am is *too* early to wake up.
-I shouldn't have to go through the stations by myself...my group does it fine.
-I don't want to memorize all my lines.
-My car now makes a squeeky noise.
-Why does it have to get dark so early?
-Inside jokes are so Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1068490050573058982003-11-10T13:47:00.000-05:002003-11-10T13:47:54.000-05:00I Make No Appologies
Well...I just finished writing this song. And like the title says...I make no appologies. Tell me what you think!
YOU DON'T KNOW ME
How many days ago did my world change
Too many to count and it don't matter anyway
Wishful thinking only gets you so far
And it never once got me to where you are

This morning, I sent an e-mail off to a really good friend of mine who I hadn't seen around for a couple days. In it, I wrote the following line.
"I hope this e-mail finds you in good spirits and in good health."
A couple hours later, I was checking e-mail, and saw he had written me back. So I open up the e-mail, and get a message full of several copied & pasted e-mails sent Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1068131014236154752003-11-06T10:03:00.000-05:002003-11-06T10:03:52.890-05:00Amen
I thought this was really cool to see.
At my office-we have the "floor"-where most everyone's cubicle are located. In fact, all the cubicles are out there. We also have at one end of the floor a little room called the "schoolhouse". The schoolhouse has walls lined with mini-cubicles that feature a computer. It is used for training mostly. I work in the schoolhouse, because I don't have my Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1067967833085653042003-11-04T12:43:00.000-05:002003-11-04T12:44:08.700-05:00Jesus, I love You AGAIN!
Wow...I had an amazing weekend. And today has only gotten better-which I wasn't sure was possible.
My best friend from Australia came into town this past Thursday. We had a great time sight-seeing around Philadelphia, went to Washington D.C. for a day, and spent lots of time talking and hanging out and enjoying being face-to-face after a long time of being on two Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1067348182969556262003-10-28T08:36:00.000-05:002003-10-28T08:36:29.216-05:00I'm Top 40 Baby!
It might not be Billboard...but yours truly had a very strong debut on this weeks charts. With only 5 days on the CMCentral chatroom, I debuted on three different charts. I am #31 on the Chuck Chart; #25 on the Kram Chart; and #7 on the Kram Early Birds Chart. Now isn't that cool :-) It looks like I have a strong future in the chatting industry.

Well-I don't know where your mind went. But mine didn't go there. LOL. Anyway-for the first time in months, I had breakfast this morning. Yes. Breakfast. I had two waffles on my drive into work. How insane is that? I enjoyed the experience. If I have enough time tomorrow morning, I might repeat it. Praise the Lord for Eggo Waffles =)

Anyone recognize that title? Yes-it is an album by Tim McGraw. I bought it when it came out because I liked the song "Grown Men Don't Cry"...and then only listened to it once. Well, I just put it in here at work to keep me entertained and it really is a good CD! I had no idea what I was missing.

It was raining on my way into work this morning. This made the unbearable-on-a-good-day drive down 422 absolutely horrendous. Welcome to Wednesday, Tony! It also doesn't help that I woke up with a killer soar throat. I have, in the past 2 hours and 40 mins since I got to work, had 8 cups of water. Yes...8...because my throat keeps drying out and getting soarer and soarer.

I must say, I tried the Campbell's Chunky variety soup for lunch today (the meat and white rice kind) and it was very good! I really enjoyed it. Tomorrow I'll be trying their chicken and brocolli soup. I'll let you know how that is.
For the past few months here at work, there have been e-mails and fundraisers going around talking about a certain woman, B.

The start of a new week is always an interesting prospect. It means wrestling myself out of bed early in the morning...only to fight traffic on 422 to make it to the office. And then slave away for 8 hours to support myself. Wrestling myself out of bed is easier said than done. On paper my hours are 8am to 4pm every weekday. In reality, I keep hitting the snooze button Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1066239301998069492003-10-15T13:35:00.000-04:002003-10-15T13:35:01.606-04:00About That...
Well...since Rich brought it up...
...Tony is not plunging. Err-I'm not going to Nashville come November. I'm holding off for a little. After some lengthy discussions with my mother (who had the Pastor on his side), I'm not moving right now. I'm now going to wait until sometime next year. I was quite unhappy when the mother and pastor's views were relayed to me-but I can't afford Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1066141495472798342003-10-14T10:24:00.000-04:002003-10-14T10:24:55.323-04:00Tuesday Morning
For starters, I added a comment form! Should you be so inclined as to want to get in touch with me, you will find the link over on the left.
This morning is going by semi-slowly. I am on my second glass water. I've eaten a package of powdered donuts for breakfast. I am saving my remaining $1.55 to buy myself lunch from the vending machine. Well...it will be in place of lunch.

I am deathly afraid of flying. Everyone says its the safest way to travel, but this is precisely the reason from which my fears originate:
"Catastrophic accidents in aircraft aren't conductive to survivors."
So-the odds of something going wrong may be slim, but when it does, your odds of surviving become slimmer.

Just got back from lunch at the mall. For starters, I didn't break any traffic laws...just common driver courtesy! As an ex-girlfriend of my father's says "Its the little pedal on the right. PUSH IT!" Thanks Gabby, your words are so true...
While at the mall I bought Joy Williams' latest CD-By Surprise. It is quite good.

I am having trouble staying focused at work...it is entirely too boring.
I'm glad none of you were driving with me yesterday. I can't even begin to count the number of driving laws I broke just on the way to the mall for my lunch. Its 2 minutes to the mall. And I lost count. How terrible is that. There is also the trip back to the office, and then the trip home from the office.

There's people around him but he's all alone
Forsaken, forgotten, he's losin' ground

Wow-three posts today!! First about work...then a song I wrote...and now my latest lesson from God!
Ok. At work, I work in what they call the "schoolhouse". Its a little room with computers lining the walls that they built to train people. But they also use it for overflow (this mostly happens when second shift comes in and first shift hasn't left yet). So I work back there.

if you never fell

would you know the need

so much to work through

There was a fire in my office building yesterday. Apparently some light bulbs caught fire and filled the entire second floor with smoke. The building was evacuated for an hour and a half. Unfortunately, I wasn't here to partake in the action. When I got here-they had all the doors on the second floor open.

Just the other day I was talking about you
And a smile crossed my face
Its hard to believe after all this time
Your memory's not erased
You threw me for a loop when you said the time had come
I was convinced you that you would be the one
But still you went your way
And left me off center
Left me confused
Left me off balance
Battered and bruised
So I'll keep the faith

This morning I went to the library at my campus, even though I have no classes on Tuesdays (minus an evening class). I went because I have a bibliography due in my history class tomorrow and I desperately need book sources. Unfortunately, the library at my campus is TERRIBLE and everything is at the central campus.

This current layout almost happened under a different name and with a different theme. I was very intent on calling it "Jesus Loves You"-based on the song of that name by Jewel. Sounds nice, right? Well the song doesn't turn out like you think it might from that title. The opening line says "They say that Jesus loves you/what about me?" and goes from there.

I haven't been eating well lately. Yesterday, all I had to eat was a Luncheable. Today, I had 8 grapes, 6 mozzerella sticks, 3 french fries and a slice of pizza. I don't know whats wrong with me, but I haven't been hungry.

As you can see, I have a new layout! This thing has been sitting around forever because various attempts at getting a graphic have failed. So i spent all morning searching the web to find a bunch of my own and came up with the above set. I hope you like the new layout. The only real change is that fact the tagboard won't be up with this layout. So you'll just have to comment or e-mail me :Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1063995209794949332003-09-19T14:13:00.000-04:002003-09-19T14:13:29.786-04:00College...
Much to the surprise of everyone at school today...we did have school. How depressing. My history class went off fine...however, my math class was cancelled. This is rather inconvenient as it is right inbetween my other two classes, so I can't go home or anything. Instead I went up the street to the bank where my friend's mom works and visited her until I had to head back to English.

Well...Isabel has come and gone. It was kind of like a big rain storm really, nothing spectacular. I'm not sure what all the hype was about. I am a little upset though. My mother and sister do not have school today...however my college is "operating on a normal schedule". This blows. It also means I Have to go now, because I have a History class to get to!

Well, the hurricane is on its way. This should be fun...maybe I won't have classes tomorrow! A boy can dream, can't he?
In other news I've had one heck or a week emotionally/spiritually. I'm really frazzled right now...I need a break.

It was one heck of a weekend. Between the crappy weather, my crappy mood, and my crappy driving-it was a doozie. What else is there to say besides on Saturday I had my first car accident. Well, in true form to the airline industry I shall call it an incident, as there was no damage and no injuries/fatalaties. Just me being careless I suppose and sliding into the back of an SUV.

If you are someone who knows me in person...you'll know how insane I am. I admit-I have a "Top 10 To Marry List". It started several years ago when I discovered Faith Hill (who was the first person to make the countdown haha) and has grown since then into a list of women I have crushes on :-P Some famous, some not. I'm not obsessive I promise its more of a joke than anything!

I have been in a non-writing mood lately. I appologize, please forgive me.
Tonight is my first night class-its my Intro to Mass Communications class from 7-10. Three hours in one seat...this could get interesting real fast. Especially if the class isn't all that entertaining. I am currently working on transfering out to a different school for next semester.

Today, I'd like to share a song with you. Many of you might know this song-but you probably aren't aware it was just sent to radio-again!
Mandy Moore has long been one of my favorite singers, and when I found out my favorite singer was recording one of my favorite songs, I knew it was a match made in Heaven! Last week, Mandy Moore released the first single from her upcoming album (entitledTonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1062680096476023282003-09-04T08:54:00.000-04:002003-09-04T08:54:56.280-04:00Now For The Recap
Well....I am now officially a college student as I had my first set of classes yesterday. It went alright. Nothing spectacular. My history class looks like it should be interesting...six of the kids in it are people who have previsouly failed the course with the teacher...so I'm not sure if that means anything! He's very strict and does not teach from the textbook....ever!

Today is a day of firsts.
First (haha), It is my first day fo college classes. Starting at 9:05 and ending at 12:10, I begin my life as a college student today. History, Math and English...this should be interesting. I have no idea what to expect. I'm a little nervous as I will no doubt not know a soul in any of my classes. Well, I might know one or two from my old high Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1062088237004961852003-08-28T12:30:00.000-04:002003-08-28T12:30:36.943-04:00Church vs. State
I don't usually get involved in political debates but the following occured to me last night while watching Legally Blonde (of all things...)
As you may well know, the Alabama government (or somebody) ruled that a monument of the Ten Commandments must be removed from a state courthouse. Well, they claim they need to seperate church and state. Ok...I'm not going to argue.

I'm still unable to comprehend! I went and filled up my tank yesterday...at the price of $1.71 a gallon!? Is that not insane? The last time I filled up my tank it was at $1.51 a gallon! In the week and a half or so since I filled up, the price rose .20 cents!! How insane...maybe it has something to do with the WaWa's competition closing down for renovation since I last filled up?

Am I the only person in the world who eats their cereal with no milk in it? I really do not like mushy cereal! I would much rather enjoy a nice glass of milk on the side, and my cereal as it came. Is that weird? Some people think so, but I beg to differ!

I am SO not a car person. Really...it is not my forte. I know how to put gas in my car...how to turn it on...how to drive it around, and thats about it. I haven't had windshield wiper fluid in it since April because I ran out and can't put more in. I could probably find where it goes but I'm too lazy to go under the hood and put more in.

He makes me SO mad. He really pisses me off. For the sake of this entry, we will use his first name, Vic. Vic is my biological father, who I refer to as "SD" (sperm donor). Well, in case you weren't aware, several months my mother filed a lawsuite against him to get some (if not all) of what he owes her in back child support in the 13 years they have been divorced.

The past couple days I have really been yo-yo'ing in my faith. So today I sat down and wrote a song about it. I hope it is something people can connect with. It helps to write but I want to write for others as well as myself...but anyway. This song is a snapshot of what I've felt the last few days. Enjoy!

Jennifer Knapp sure knows what she is talking about. That is the first verse to her song "The Way I Am", which was also the title of this journal for a while.

It was a surprising weekend this past weekend. Saturday morning I had praise team practice at 8:00am like always, for the praise team I sing with at the 9:00am service on Sunday. The practice went very fast. Despite us all waiting outside for 10 minutes or so because no one had a key to get in (we had to bang on doors and windows to get the janitors attention!) we were done by 9.

BEFORE THERE WAS YOU
It used to be I hated the rain
But I know you love it, now I feel the same
Its just as good as a sunny day
Its no longer a tragic reminder of pain
So I'm standing here and watchin it fall
It feels so good to love it all
These days I'm walkin tall
Instead of trying my best to crawl
Before there was you there was nothing but grey

Every once in a while, someone comes along and changes your outlook on life. They can make you smile without doing a thing except be there. They can make every part of your day happy again. They teach you how to live again. They teach you how to love again. They teach you things about yourself you never knew. I found that person. She is amazing. She is sweet, she is caring, Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16634320319129812561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689328.post-1059755876545630422003-08-01T12:37:00.000-04:002003-08-01T12:37:56.510-04:00Dear God
Thank You so much God for offering us your Son. I am forever grateful. Thank You for saving my life, and offering me eternity by your side.

They mocked your name and left you for dead
They figured it was over, the nonsense was done
Little did they know you'd prove them wrong

Last night was Abby's funeral. I can't even begin to describe the amazing experience it was. Her viewing started at 4:00, and her service was supposed to start at 7 (or if the line ended before that, whenever the viewing line ended). I got there at 5:15, and there was a good amount of people there and in line in front of me, but it moved quickly.

What happens when everything you thought turns out to be a lie?
When all you see is black and blue and all you think is "why?"
Its never easy to get back on your feet
Why should this be different, why should this be easy?

Surrender now, its too late to win
I need a change
Something's got to break
Its time to rearrange
